It's Not Easy Being "Green"

Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain!!!
Studies in Contradiction


You MUST Believe! YOU are the Problem!!! There are seemingly no end to the ways that "Green" Socialists come up with to vilify outdoor recreationalists, businesses, even whole industries. We read it in the papers,, and on the web. We watch it on TV. We listen to it in our cars on the way to and from work. Our children get it from cartoons like "Captain Planet" and school texts that portray humans as destroyers of the earth. If there's a problem in the world, "human induced" is the default condition - regardless of any pesky little things - like "facts" for example. They just get in the way of a good guilting of America after all.

Now don't go trying to deny it, It's YOUR fault.

Or so our environmentally aware friends would have us believe.

Ponder this never-reported truth -

For a so called "expert" on environmental matters to come on television and tell us what bad people we are, he / she is contacted by the TV station / network...

(Using a phone system powered by electricity that comes from coal, hydro electric, gas, or nuclear powerplants, and has destroyed the biodiversity of hundreds of thousands of acres of pristine land and waterways in the laying of phone line, poles, and cable. - But if YOU do that, you are evil)

He / she then drives, or takes a taxi to an airport.......

(In a vehicle made of mined metals, chemically created plastics / fabrics / paints, and composites, rubber that will last indefinitely in landfills, and that burns fossil fuel - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet)

Over highways built .....

(Using mined metals, quarried rock, chemically treated asphalt, and built by fossil fuel powered heavy equipment - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet

Where he / she will sit in a heated / air conditioned terminal.....

(built of mined metals, quarried rock, chemically created plastics / fabrics / paints, and powered by electricity that comes from coal, hydro electric, gas, or nuclear powerplants - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet)

He / She will then board an airplane built of .....

(Mined metals, chemically created plastics / fabrics / paints, and composites, rubber that will last indefinitely in landfills, and burns fossil fuel - - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet)

...and fly hundreds or thousands of miles to a similar airport ....

(built of mined metals, quarried rock, chemically created plastics / fabrics / paints, and powered by electricity that comes from coal, hydro electric, gas, or nuclear powerplants - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet)

He / she is then likely picked up by a limo from the TV studio which is very poor on fuel mileage, high on maintenance, ....

(Made of mined metals, chemically created plastics / fabrics (or the skins of dead animals) / paints, and composites, rubber that will last indefinitely in landfills, and burns fossil fuel - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet)

To ride to the TV studio over highways .

(built by using mined metals, quarried rock, chemically treated asphalt, and fossil fuel powered heavy equipment - But if YOU do that, you are destroying the planet)

Where he / she will spew forth his / her words of wisdom .....

(from a building built of mined metals, quarried rock, chemically created plastics / fabrics / paints, and powered by electricity that comes from coal, hydro electric, gas, or nuclear powerplants - But if YOU do that, you are an anti-environmentalist hatemonger)

....telling you that it's YOUR fault that the planet is in such a sorry state, and that we're all going to die, and that squirrels are mating strangely, and chickens are laying square eggs, and that the spotted mole is in danger of going extinct if little Billy uses one more battery for his electric "Snoopy" toothbrush. It sure is a lot of trouble, expense, "destruction of wildlife, habitat, and natural resource" just to get the latest ecological Nostrodomous wannabee to the TV camera on time, but such usage of the planet is acceptable to advance the cause of the the green movement. After all, they do it every time some media darling wants to expose man's inhumanity against Gaia. And after all, THEY do it to SAVE the planet.

YOU and I on the other hand, are enviro-menaces of the first order, just lying in wait for the chance to despoil the fragile ecosphere....and shamefully get our rocks off doing it.

What? You don't believe me?

Have you been living in an environmentally correct cave? An entire industry has been built around informing the environmentally victimized population of the evils that you and I have done.

The Sierra Club publishes a full color print magazine which regularly condemns the logging industry, the chemical industry, and the (add your favorite here) industry.

(yet the magazine, calendars, flyers, pamphlets, and other vehicles of propaganda are printed in full chemically created color on - you guessed it - Paper. When a magazine or other literature is published that runs contrary to the eco-gospel, the Sierra Club screams about how we're running out of forrest.)

Groups like the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance decry the use of SUV's and especially, their use on public lands.

(Yet the SUWA holds gatherings on public lands, miles away from civilization, accessible only by the dirt roads they claim don't exist, and get there in - you guessed it - SUV's. Where can we learn to off-road "acceptably" like the SUWA who apparently do no damage to the environment? I'll sign up right now.)

Groups like PETA go after the heartstrings of Americas youth in attempt to force society into a state of vegetarianism. "Meat is Murder" goes the cry. "Ronald McDonald is a scary, scary clown" say protesters outside the Golden Arches as they try to warp the minds of our children. "It is immoral to "Own" a pet, and it violates the animals rights"

(Tell that to a little girl with a new kitten to love. Later, when she sits down to a steak dinner, explain why she was born a carnivore, and equipped with canine teeth as part of the original equipment package - yet should ignore this fact and subsist on vegetables. Hell, don't take my word for it Ms. Newkirk, ask any dentist.

In the mind of the animal rights nut, there is no difference between eating a cow, and eating a kitten. This fact should clue you in to the brainwashed cult mentality of the animal rights groups all by it self)


But hey, what do I know? I'm just some wrong thinking brainless anti-environmental off-roader that despoils, nature, votes Republican, violates the rights of the cat who lives in my house (possibly against it's will, but since I don't speak "cat", I'll likely never really be sure), contributed to overpopulation (through an environmentally inconsiderate act resulting in my daughter), and support evil corporations through the evils of capitalism.

And it's all my fault. How do I know that? Why, I believe what the socialists, er - environmentalists tell me of course. They know what's best.

You must excuse me now. I'm overcome with guilt and must go flog myself.
